I'm probably not going to make it out tonight. My girlfriend got her wisdom teeth removed today so I need to take care of her and make sure I'm-- I mean she's, taking her Vikodin. I could drop it by your house on Saturday or Sunday though. PM me your address and when you'll be home.

[QUOTE=8rotor8;2495791]We're trying to figure out how we are getting the car to you. I'm busy this weekend and next. What day do you ship out so we can know when we need to get this together. I'm thinking the extra paint job will have to wait, we just need to get your out of the shop. [QUOTE]

I leave the 17th. Which is a Tuesday. If it'll be done on the 13th then I'd like to have it that weekend so I can replace the brake pads and change the oil before I make the drive. I also have to clean the **** out of it. They go through every inch of the car and it has to be spotless to pass the agri inspection.

Well, I actually got work done on my car this weekend! I finally got around to installing my puddle lights and making the necessary markings for drilling out my speaker baffles.

Only thing remaining to do is string speaker wire through the door molex, install speakers, and get rid of that damn ground loop. Oh and get a short shifter.

Sweet.

I got the ignition solution sitting in a box in my room, no time this weekend for the install. I'll have to wait until I get back from socal.

I was really tempted to drive my baby down so I could show up at one of the socal meets and not feel left out, but man, plane tickets were so much cheaper.

That doesn't sound fun. This is what I did this weekend.

That helicopter shot was interesting. They basically used an RC helicopter with a mounted camera.

The short shifter install will be fun anyways. It should be shipping from rotorsport this morning.

Door molex, and center speaker, not so much. I'm way to tempted to just try the factory wires and use them till they sound like crap, or pay for someone else to pull them through.
